Looking for something to make for dinner? Or just as a side? Look no further for inspiration.
Many times I’m looking for something to make for breakfast or as a side for dinner or as a main course. I don’t necessarily know what I want to make. But I know that I want something in that general category!
This section is for when you just need a inspiration for a category of meal.
I like to have fun with the holidays and use them as an opportunity to make something fun and new sometimes. This year, I went with a Moroccan-inspired Christmas menu. I couldn’t decide whether I wanted a cold salad or a hot salad. Because spinach […]
All of the Moroccan-inspired Christmas dishes this year revolve around this Chickpeas Tagine. I’ve been eyeing a tagine for a while, now. It’s one of the few culinary pots that I don’t already own. So, I’m absolutely on board with picking one up for this […]
I don’t often roast vegetables on the side. I cook so many vegetarian recipes as it is, that adding more vegetables on the side almost seems superfluous. These Tahini Roasted Carrots & Cauliflower are the standout dish this Christmas. It’s one of those recipes where […]
I’m from the West coast and grew up with crab aplenty. Lobster we didn’t have, though! And since now I live in Wisconsin and neither is plentiful, I’m branching out. Especially because one of my local grocery stores sells live lobster. I also like to […]
The other day I made Vermicelli Salad w/ Daikon & Yellow Squash. I ordinarily like to add in avocado with this for a little bit of indulgence. Although I’ve used all of my avocados on Avocado Dip w/ Greek Yogurt & Walnuts. So, I decided […]
I tried my hand at the Dutch Oven Instant Pot for the first time the other day with Instant Pot Dutch Oven Lentils w/ Cauliflower & Tahini (this is NOT sponsored). While I’m not quite convinced that this is a worthwhile investment? I’m pretty fond […]
I like to test out new products. I’m in the restaurant industry. There’s very little difference between high-end consumer and low-end professional culinary products. And, quite frankly, you don’t have to ask me twice if I want a fancy schmancy new red Dutch oven (this […]
I turn absolutely anything and everything into burritos. It’s one of my favorite ways to utilize leftovers. It only takes a couple of minutes to toast a tortilla and toss whatever I have in the refrigerator into it. Today, I made a Venison Goulash Burrito […]
I don’t eat a lot of meat. I have an entire article on What Does “Mostly Vegetarian” Mean & Will I Post Meat Recipes? because I almost never post recipes with meat and always debate about being a part of the “pseudo-vegetarian” community. And I […]
Trifle is one of those holiday favorites that I grew up with every now and then on special occasions. I ordinarily use strawberries. Although strawberries are few and far between on the cusp of winter! So, I’ve opted for raspberries. Which are equally delicious, but […]
